Lip readers decipher heated Geno Auriemma-Dawn Staley exchange

A couple of lip readers have tried to decipher what happened between UConn coach Geno Auriemma and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley on Friday night.

Staley’s South Carolina team defeated Auriemma’s UConn team in Friday’s Final Four game in Phoenix. Afterward, the two got into a heated exchange that caused Auriemma to storm off the court without postgame handshakes.

A couple of eagle-eyed lip readers seemed to clock the exchange as Auriemma being mad at Staley not shaking his hand pregame, which the two clearly did. Staley seemingly pushed against that accusation in the moment.

More lip readings should come out soon, but here’s your first glimpse at what might have gone down.

What an ugly moment to cap an awesome game.
